Discover Shanghai from its humble origins as a fishing village and hear the stories behind how it evolved to become one of the world's most exciting and cosmopolitan places!

In 3.5~4 hours, our tour covers all the must-see spots in downtown Shanghai. Get ready to dive into the history, culture, art, architecture, and mouthwatering food of this vibrant city!

IMPORTANT: Please note that the booking fee charged here is solely to reserve your spot, as the tour itself operates on a tips-based model, meaning you decide how much your guide deserves for their hard work. We suggest a tip of 200-250 RMB or 25-30 USD/EURO, which we believe is a fair amount compared to the cost of a regular walking tour:) This voluntary tip is a way to recognize your guide's efforts and helps us maintain this exciting job!

Booking is limited to groups of up to 4 people (adults+kids). If your group exceeds 4 people, please contact us to arrange a private tour.

    This was a free walking tour which we didn’t realise as we paid to take part and then paid again at the end. It’s based on tips. The tour itself was great though and so was the guide! Didn’t walk too fast either.
